I picked up a copy of this book secondhand. It was published in 2018 in the US and gives a comprehensive, well-referenced guide to maintaining ketosis on a mostly plant-based diet. It also includes simple recipes that provide a breakdown of macros per portion including net carbohydrates rather...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the documentary "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days" available on youtube? I first came across it about 3 1/2 years ago and was amazed at how effective the experiment was for the 6 participants and how their health seemed to transform...

People are always asking and I am always posting different vegetarian and vegan recipe sites, especially low carb ones. So I figured I would start a Thread with the different links. I'm sure there is more out there. The first post is vegan/vegetarian sites. The second is low carb vegan...

Hi there I changed my diet 2 weeks ago and cut out all meat and dairy. I had been considering this for a while and had watched a few videos on YouTube about the treatment of animals in the farming industry which I was absolutely disgusted with. I thought that I would have struggled with this...

I've always loved cooking. But now I've been diagnosed as T2D, and I'm also vegan, to further complicate matters. Trying to work out and make 3 balanced meals adding up to 800 calories a day on top of everything else in life is more than I can manage at the moment. So I think it's going to be...

I was diagnosed this week after having two blood tests last week - first came back at 73, the next was 76. I'm 47, male, 15 stone (210 lbs/95kg), BMI about 29.4. No history of diabetes in the family. I only went for tests because my wife thought I should get a general checkup, although I was...

I'm new to the site so excuse me if I'm not using the right forum....... I have tried keto a few times but much prefer to be on a vegan diet, which is pretty hard on the keto/low carb ones I tried before. I felt terribly unwell after a week or 2 of trying and gave it up. Still struggling...

Fantastic to see Greggs sharing the astounding success of their new range with their employees. And at only 21g carbs each, that’s only a couple of units of insulin for most type ones using DAFNE principles. Win:win! And even if you eat as low carb as I do, it would still be within my daily 30g...

My mum bought me a book called ‘The Reverse Diabetes Diet’ and it’s basically a vegan plan. I’m currently completely unmanaged and my sugars are out of control so thought I might give it a go for January as a few of my colleagues are attempting Veganuary. Has anyone else tried a vegan diet and...

ho everyone thought I’d post a little update, so was diagnosed in March with a1c of 8.4 then 7.7 three weeks after the first...I started slimmingworld and in 3 months I lost 1.5 stone and my a1c came back as 5! I was regularly testing my blood sugar, I found per meal I could eat up to 70g carbs...

I can see a lot of discussion on these forums about pro's, con's, propaganda etc about vegan diets. What I want to learn about, and so far have not found, is anyone who has actually turned to a vegan diet and had success with lowering their blood sugars or "reversing" it. There is no need to...

I was just wondering as I ate some Chao Brand jack cheese, vegan, that if you have it in the UK. I was then going to ask if you did, you should try it! I thought about the fact that among my vegan friends when we try something new we are excited about we text it to someone to try it out! So I...

Noted Chicagoland physician, Dr.Kunwarjit Singh Duggal talks about the critical role of food in medicine. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in the U.S. alone, chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases and cancer, contribute to almost two...

There’s been a few posts recently from people who follow a vegan/vegetarian way of life who were asking about combining it with low carb, so I thought I’d start a thread with some meal ideas, and the full nutritional breakdown (MyFitnessPal checked against labels for accuracy). Full disclosure -...

I'm 115 lbs, prediabetic, and should be eating around 60 grams of protein. I'm still new to this low carb diet. I'm a vegetarian who eats cheese and yogurt but no eggs. I'm having trouble finding foods that will have that much protein. . I am eating way too much soy now and need to switch...

i haven’t yet been diagnosed with diabetes I have to go in for a second blood test as the doctor thinks it is diabetes.... Has anyone tried a vegan diet? When looking into research I’ve read a lot of videos and videos on how a wholefood vegan diet has better results lowering blood sugar and...

Hello everyone, I am extremely new to worrying about blood sugar and insulin. Recently, due to other symptoms, I got a PCOS check advanced from Medichecks that also had insulin and blood sugar tests included. I am very confused by my results and the doctor's comments were not very helpful. I...

It was refreshing to watch 2 heavy weights discuss sensibly topics concerning diametrically opposed positions. No insults or cheap shots. I / possibly we, need more of this, as there is much which can be learned by having both low carb / keto / carnivore and vegan experts state their cases...

If people haven't heard this before... I thought people might be interested in this interview with Dr. Carrie Diulus. Although I'm Type 2, I found it fascinating. She's a Type 1 diabetic (developed as an adult) who is vegan and eats a keto diet. She also has celiac disease. She's also an...

Hi, I'm vegan type 1, and for years my breakfast has been cereal (about 70g of whatever cereal I like) with soya milk. It's quick, easy, and keeps me full for a few hours. However, I'm trying to slowly reduce my carb intake, and am looking for suggestions for alternatives. They don't need to...
